Good Old Days Autumn Season

EntertainmentWhat's On

West End leading lady, Marti Webb, comedy legend, Barry Cryer and 2016’s Britain’s Got Talent winner, magician Lance Corporal Richard Jones are just three of the TV and West End stars set to tread the boards in this season’s Good Old Days at the City Varieties Music Hall (CVMH).

Making their Good Old Days debut together, Webb is an English actress and singer most famed for her performances in Evita and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s one woman show, Tell Me on a Sunday – this included her biggest hit single, Take That Look Off Your Face; a UK top three hit. Originally from Leeds, Cryer is an English writer, comedian and actor who has worked with, and written for, many noted performers, including Tommy Cooper, Bruce Forsyth, Bob Hope, Frankie Howerd, Richard Pryor, Spike Milligan and Morecambe and Wise.

Leeds audiences are invited to dress in period costume and take their seats for the live variety spectacular that has been entertaining crowds since 1953 – the original series has recently enjoyed a re-run on BBC4.

The Autumn season is as follows:

When: 7pm Friday 22nd September and 2pm Saturday 23rd

Who: West End superstar Marti Webb tops the bill. The show will be presented by special guest chairman, Mr Barry Cryer. Mickie Driver delivers some light-hearted ditties alongside musician extraordinaire Gordon Cree and singer Julia Sutton, plus comedy magician Mel Harvey.

Who: TV magician, Lance Corporal Richard Jones (winner of 2016’s Britain’s Got Talent) debuts in the top slot and guest chairman, Mr David Graham, is welcomed back.
